Debian :: Partition A New 500 Giga Hard Driver For A Server?
Mar 2, 2010
Much of the documentation about the subject refers to, by today's standards, fairly small hard drives so I'd really appreciate your views on the subject of slicing up large hard disks and any links on how to partition a 160 giga drive or a 500 giga drive?
1. How to partition a new 500 giga hard driver for a server? I don't know what to do with so much space; maybe I should use it for my desktop system and use, for example, two 160 giga drives for the server because I'd like to back it up using RAID.
2. The server has 4 GB RAM. Is such an enormous swap partition, double the RAM size proposed by the installer, necessary?

I have two identical 160GB hard drives and I'm planning on setting up a server, probably ubuntu, for Glassfish, mysql and subversion. ince I'm using those applications I'm assuming I should have a large var partition for mysql, and /opt for glassfish and I'm not sure about subversion. Is there a good partition layout you can suggest for me for my 2 drives?

I want to configure Name Server i.e., DNS to my red hat linux box in a production enviromnt.The ram is 2 GB and Hard Disk size is 200 GB. How much space should I give /var, /usr, /boot, /root and home partition. May be I am wrong in partition point of view while installing fresh red hat but to install for home purpose and server end is different. So kindly guide me the hard disk partition size to ready it for name server.

I am trying to move a whole bunch of files from one partition on one hard drive to the same partition on another hard drive. Can I mount the same partition (same name, different drives, i.e. /data on /dev/hda1 and /data on /dev/hdb1)and copy those files? Shutdown the server, take out /dev/hda1 and boot up with the new drive and it's /data contents.

I installed Redhat Enterprise 3 on one of my servers. In my haste I didn't properly partition both Hard Drives and only properly partitioned one of them. Thus now I have
/dev/sdb1 478711768 137858256 316536328 31% /
/dev/sda1 101089 15346 80524 17% /boot
Where /dev/sda1 is actually a 80 GB hard drive. Is there anyway I can safely and easily repartition the unpartitioned space without causing a huge mess? I have a very important Oracle database on /dev/sdb1 and thus I want to be able to back it up on the second disk. I can create a partition on that drive?

I have a HP ProLiant DL380 server and I am trying to install Debian on it.
I had an error that said dhcp configuration failed at the base installation and Debian found my NICs but asked for driver.
I've Googled it and found out that I need to install required Broadcom NetExtreme NIC drivers.
There are images that 3rd people have created but I don't want to use them as it will be a server.
Another way to install them is to download .deb package and install it from a removable media when asked.
So I went ahead and did an expert install mode and choosed adding packages from a media so an option appeared for me to install stuff from removable media now.
Each time I choose it, my flash drive's lights are blinking but then I am getting an error says this package can not be installed are you sure to install a non signed package.
I say yes at that stage but I still can't install and then it says this is probably happening because of kernel version miss match.
I downloaded latest stable copy of Debian and also downloaded the stable squeeze copy of the driver from official Debian site too. [url]
Is this a kernel mismatch between my Deb. version and the driver?
And after many try my server started hanging at detecting network hardware stage, how can I deal with this?
Also finally I started to get this...

Is this happening because I am using wrong architecture CD?
I have i386 image and my server has 2 x Pentium 3 processor.

My parents bought a new hard drive for a laptop that I've owned for several years. It's much larger than the current one, so I plan on splitting it up to dual boot it with Ubuntu.I have no problem with partitioning a drive (I always keep a LiveCD handy), but my question is this: how can I go about moving the existing partition to the new drive? This is a laptop, so I can't simply plug the new drive into another slot.
Also, even if I manage to move it, will Windows still work on the new drive in a larger partition? I've had this laptop for quite a while, and I've lost the recovery discs that came with it a long time ago. I also have a lot of software without CDs to reinstall them with. This makes not reinstalling Windows a high priority.

When I originally installed 11.3, the Nvidia driver was not yet available by repo, so I used the "hard way" installation: the .run file downloaded from the Nvidia site with the kernel module compilation step.It appears that the repo has been updated and I can now use that one. What are the correct steps to install the repo driver? Do I uninstall the existing driver first?

I've been given an old blue and white Macintosh G3 350MHz 700MB RAM and 6GB HDD. When I try to install Ubuntu Server 9.10 PowerPC the installer tells me it cannot see a HDD and that I have to select a Driver for the Disk. I have absolutely no idea which driver to pick from the very long list.

My computer has two hard discs; one contains Windows 7 and the other is completely empty and has a capacity of 160 GB. I want to install Ubuntu and another distro - possibly Fedora - on the empty HD but I am stuck as to how to go about partitioning the drive.Should I partition the drive first so that it is ready for two distros or should I install one of the distros first and then let the second one do its own partitioning?If I should partition the drive first could someone in the direction of a step-by-step guide to this;preferably a guide for dummies. I already created /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 thinking that these would be the equivalent of two logical drives in Windows e.g. D: and E: but this didn't seem to be the case because when I started to install Ubuntu it asked all sorts of questions to which I did not know the answers so I have now returned the drive to its original state.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.04 on an HP Compaq dc5000 uT with Windows XP Pro. service pack 3. Downloaded the ISO file and burned a CD with Infra Recorder. The demonstration version works ok as far as I can tell, this is my first try at using any form of Linux. If I can get Ubuntu to work I plan to get rid of Windows completely. I'm stuck at step 4 of the install process, all options in the partition window are dimmed, nothing is clickable.

I have a very very insane problem with my ssd sata harddisk. I did fill the harddisk, and Thunderbird complained about "no space left on device". But even if I delete some files from the harddisk, df will still say 0 blocks free. But it will decrease the number of used blocks. So it looks like it is freeing the blocks and deleting the files, but it don't put the blocks back to the free pool.
But here is where things get insane: If I log in with my normal user, I get a "No free space" when I try to write to the harddisk. But If i log in as root I can write to the file system, despite the fact that df is saying 0 blocks free. I did try to run fsck -f but it just run its test and then say that anything is fine. But it run for less then 10 seconds, is this expected on a 40GB ssd partition?.

I have an existing install of 10.4 on a 320 GB hard drive without home in it's own partition. I have a new 500GB hard drive that I want to install 10.10 on. After installing 10.10 and making /Home on it's own partition can I copy the entire old home folder including the hidden files to the new home partition on the new hard drive so that all of my programs and files are saved. I don't have enough room left on the old hard drive to create and copy home to a new partition. Am I going about this the right way or do I need to rethink and do some kind of backup restore on the new hard drive or some other way. I am trying to accomplish this so that in the future I can install a clean copy of Ubuntu when they are released without losing my current settings and files. I started out with 7.10 but my learning curve is slow.
